Clinical and Microbiological Characteristics of Clostridium difficile Infection Among Hospitalized Children in the Netherlands
Conclusions.
Pediatric CDI in hospitals has remained stable over the last 6 years and resulted in fewer complications than for adult CDI. Further studies are needed to elucidate the source and epidemiology of PCR ribotype 265, primarily found in children. (Source: Clinical Infectious Diseases)

Long-term Impact of a "3 + 0" Schedule for 7- and 13-Valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccines on Invasive Pneumococcal Disease in Australia, 2002-2014
Conclusions.
Reductions in vaccine-type IPD post-PCV13 were inferior to Australian experience with PCV7 and reports from high-income countries giving a PCV booster dose. Applicability of findings to other settings would depend on age of IPD onset, serotype profile, and timeliness of vaccination. (Source: Clinical Infectious Diseases)

Fixed-Dose Artesunate-Amodiaquine Combination vs Chloroquine for Treatment of Uncomplicated Blood Stage P. vivax Infection in the Brazilian Amazon: An Open-Label Randomized, Controlled Trial
Conclusions.
ASAQ exhibited high efficacy against CQ resistant P. vivax and is an adequate alternative in the study area. Studies with an efficacious comparator, longer follow-up and genotype-adjustment can improve CQR characterization.

Prediction of Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection in High-Risk Pregnant Women
Conclusions.
This is the first prospective cohort study to suggest that the presence of CMV-DNA in the maternal uterine cervical secretion and ultrasound fetal abnormalities are predictive of the occurrence of congenital CMV infection in high-risk pregnant women. (Source: Clinical Infectious Diseases)

Thymic Function Impacts the Peripheral CD4/CD8 Ratio of HIV-Infected Subjects
Conclusions. Our data indicate the relevance of the remaining thymic function before the start of treatment to the CD4/CD8 ratio of HIV- infected subjects and, hence, potentially, in their clinical progression. (Source: Clinical Infectious Diseases)

Uptake of HIV Preexposure Prophylaxis Among Commercially Insured Persons--United States, 2010-2014
Conclusions.
Our analytic method provides the only feasible means to monitor PrEP uptake in the United States. Although a marked increasing trend in uptake was observed for men, the number of women who used PrEP remained very low during the study period. Interventions are needed to increase PrEP use by women at substantial risk of acquiring HIV infection. (Source: Clinical Infectious Diseases)
